Jin Ji's braised duck meat and kway chap is one of the better ones in this area. The duck rice here is also one of the favourites of the more hurried

The extremely thin and soft kway chap is very easy on the gullet. Slurp it up and it slides effortlessly down your throat. I ordered another bowl and it didn't leave me feeling bloated after my meal

The secret here is really in the chilli sauce, a sourish concoction of minced chilli and garlic among other ingredients

Located at #01-162 Chinatown Complex, Blk 335 Smith Street. NOTICE : This food centre is undergoing refurbishing and stalls have been temporarily relocated to a site near Outram MRT since Jul 2006., Singapore 50335Show me on mapThis unassuming stall serves up very thin and soft kway chap (flat rice noodles) unlike many others' thick noodle texture and often starchy taste. The braised duck is very well done without being overly salty. There is a choice of plain white or yam rice, as well as porridge or noodles if you're just going for duck dishes.Email this page

Located at 327 Beach Road., Singapore 199560Show me on mapThis stall has been featured in Yummy King and other media reports. Well, I managed to ramble down to it on a Saturday evening with some friends and tried out their herbal duck soup, braised duck and other side dishes. The food was quite tasty, the duck decently braised and the soup was well cooked (many hours I'm sure), so much so that the duck meat slipped off their bones easily. Piece of cake for those with lazy jaws :). The specialty of this shop (nestled in an old shophouse on the periphery of Kampong Glam and opposite the Concourse Residences) is its herbal soups, specifically its Shi Quan Ya Tang (十全鸭汤) which means 'complete duck soup' - a reference to the range of herbs and spices used in its brewing. And the verdict is ...... POWER ! I don't know the ingredients (ok, I do have some idea) but the soup dishes sure give a helluva strong kick to the tastebuds and senses. I think it is also what the Chinese elderly like to call 'heaty' - full of yang energy if it is to be so believed :) So be warned, this is hot stuff.Email this page

Xing Ji Duck Rice's $3 plate of bony duck rice had good soya sauce seasoning and chilli. Pity the meat was not up to par for my taste

Located at #01-406 Tekka Market and Food Centre, Block 665 Buffalo Road, Singapore 210665Show me on mapDespite its recommendation by Makansutra some years back, the braised duck meat of this stall is disappointingly second rate. The saving grace was the chilli sauce and lor(soya sauce seasoning) which still could not hide the fact that the bony duck meat didn't taste very fresh. With this standard for the common duck, I won't be venturing into goose territory.Email this page

Located at #01-88 Block 214, Serangoon Avenue 4., Singapore 550214Show me on mapThis otherwise non-descript outlet (other than the bright lighting on the hanging racks of meats) is found in a corner HDB coffeeshop opposite the Serangoon Stadium / Swimming Complex.
I am usually indifferent to roasted meat especially many so-called Hong Kong style ones. This stall, however, changed my mind and set the benchmark, not only for HongKong style roasts, but roast meat in general. If you've been eating red-coloured char siew (叉烧) then you won't know what you've been missing all this while until you savour the superbly done honeyed char siew (密汁叉烧 - mi zhi cha shao) from this shop. The other winners here are the crispy roasted pork (脆皮烧肉), roast duck and fried chicken. They'll take orders (a few days in advance) for roast pigs as well. Tel: 6283-3695. Opens 830am to 8pm daily while stocks last.Email this page

Located at Stall 44 Serangoon Garden Market, 49A Serangoon Garden Way, Singapore 555945Show me on mapThe rice here was clumpy and unimpressive. Although the duck meat was pretty good and fresh, the 'lor'(soya sauce) served with it was way too salty for my taste.Email this page
